The Hellsword (playable levels 1-20, PvM)——Nimueh_Leafbow
Not sure if it was working last patch, but as of 1.04, Blackguard sneak attack gets you access to Arcane Trickster. Add Sorc and EK to the mix for decent casting and Cha synergy, and you get a decent spellsword with a better-than-normal skillset and enough sneak attack damage to help out.
